Data for "Temporally Variable Stream Width and Surface Area Distributions in a Headwater Catchment" by Barefoot et al.

This repository holds data necessary for reproducing results from Barefoot et al. (in prep). The data is a record of high-resolution stream width measurements in Stony Creek, a headwater stream in North Carolina, USA. Included are:

Width measurements for 13 surveys collected from 2015 to 2016. 

High-resolution discharge measurements of discharge collected over the same period.

Data summarizing the topology of the drainage network during each survey.

A 5-year record of discharge from the closest USGS gauge for historical flow characterization. 

Data for estimating measurement error. 

A summary table for drainage density during each survey as well as other summary statistics. 

Geographic data detailing the mapped stream locations. 

The records span a range of discharge conditions measured from summer 2015 to spring 2016. Other hydrological data for this catchment for a longer range of time is available by request from Dr. Margaret Zimmer and Dr. Brian McGlynn. 

Code for analyzing and reproducing these results can be found on Github at [insert link to repo here.]
